GxHash is a blazingly fast, robust non-cryptographic hashing algorithm implemented in Rust with zero dependencies. It uses hardware-accelerated AES-NI/SSE2 (or ARM AES/NEON) intrinsics and high ILP design to achieve top-tier throughput while passing all SMHasher quality tests.

Use cases

• fastest non-cryptographic hash function for rust
• hash function for hashmap keys with low collisions
• simd-accelerated hashing using aes-ni intrinsics
• no-std hash algorithm for embedded rust
• dos-resistant hasher for rust hashmap and hashset
• hash algorithm that passes smhasher tests
• fast hashing of byte streams and large inputs

When to choose

• you need maximum hashing throughput on x86 with AES-NI or ARM with AES/NEON
• you want a high-quality non-cryptographic hash for hashmaps, hashsets, or data processing
• you need a zero-dependency, no-std compatible hasher
• you want stable hash values within a major version

When to avoid

• you need a cryptographically secure hash for security purposes (it is explicitly non-cryptographic)
• your target platform lacks AES and SSE2/NEON intrinsics - there is no fallback and the build will fail
• you need hashes stable across major versions
• you need portability to unsupported architectures
